Which one did the Premiere (Series 4) introduce, TS or PS? I know TiVo desktop has an option to transfer in a mode that either works with Premiere-only, or a mode that works with the HD/S3 as well, but it doesn't say TS/PS...

I've been using KMTTG for years without any issues (amazing program)... but recently my computer crashed and I set up a brand new one. Everything installed and started working from scratch very easily!
(again... amazing program!)

The only issue I've found is that ProjectX can't handle some shows. They are "mpg" files, but I get an error in the log when ProjectX tries to cut their commercials:
2013_04_22_16:49:52 ERROR: xcl file not found: C:\Users\RedMan\Documents\Current\00KMTTG\Family Feud (04_22_2013)(15_00).mpg.Xcl
2013_04_22_16:49:55 ERROR: input video=eia-608: projectxcut only supports mpeg2 video

It "feels" like I'm missing a codec or something??

Thanks again for the continued development and support of this!!

I am having the exact same problem...I looked through the thread but did not find a solution. I don't see how, if kmttg is decrypting it to mpeg2 with the tivodecode binary, how it can NOT be in the proper format needed to run qsfix?

KMTTG seems to be working great on my Mac. One question, is there an option to correct deinterlacing while converting a .tivo file.

I made my own profile that handbrake encodes to H.264 constant quality. Of importance to me is the audio/video sync of the encoded product. I found that handbrakecli produces the best result for me here. Included in this profile is the --decomb filter option, which acts as a deinterlacer.

As people are upgrading to the Roamio, I am wondering if it is possible to add the ability export the channel list in the 'Guide' section of kmttg to a csv or text file (or something similar)?
I could see this being handy to quickly generating a list of selected channels on say someone's Premiere and then using it as a guide to select the channels on a new Roamio (or any new tivo for the matter).
Anyways, just an idea that may have already been addressed previously.

See the documentation:http://sourceforge.net/p/kmttg/wiki/remote_control/
In short:
* save Season Passes for your other TiVos using the Save button
* switch to destination TiVo (Roamio) and use Load button to load the previously saved SPs
* Then select 1 or more SPs in the table and press the Copy button
* Repeat for any number of saved SPs you have
* SP priority is determined by the order in which you do the copies

There are no profile for decrypting, just check on the "Decrypt" box and it will decode and convert to .mpg.

The encoding profiles is for converting to another format such as .mp4.

Thx. for response. Sorry, I was unclear. KMTGG has a pulldown menu of conversion profiles to re-format the *.tivo files such as "ff droid" with a number of others, so I was wondering which one should I use to give optimal hd and importantly, audio playback? Quality is most important, with hd space not an issue. Thanks!!

The answer to your question is NONE of the profiles. Do not recode at all to maintain optimum quality at the expense of hard drive space.

Just download with the decode option and kmttg will store the file as a .mpg file in the native resolution and audio quality as received from the Tivo.

No, download, decrypt and recode are each separate operations. The pull down list is for the recode operation only.

ok, thanks! So, I am just selecting the shows, checking "metadata," but not "decrypt" or "encode", then hitting enter? Just concerned b/c in the computer replay of hd shows, the audio was so low on a high qual tv.

After getting my Roamio Pro yesterday, I moved a premier xl to the basement and pulled another XL out of service. KMTTG shows four Tivo tabs when I have only two on the LAN. I have searched but cannot figure out how to refresh KMTTG to show only the two that are live on my LAN.

Thanks,

Edit: I guess I posted too soon. After some more digging I figured out how to delete the IP under the Tivo Tab in congfigure.

Reason: Figured It out

I am experimenting with using transport streams for the first time and just wanted to get some clarifications on what to expect.

I enabled "download tivo file in transport format, the "VideoRedu qsfix" and the "decrypt using videoredu" The resulting file is a mpeg-2 transport file with the extension .ts. Is this the correct extension? I would have thought it would have the same old mpeg extension.

At present pytivo doesn't see the file because of the .ts extension. If this extension is correct then I assume I need to change the pytivo config to see and play it.

Most of the time I am just sending it back to the tivo premiere, but sometimes I want to encode them for iPad play. Should I just be able to check the encode button and use my existing profile to convert them for my iPad?
